I hope the Cowboys take the BPA, but Dan Cody is a player I really like ... he plays as a standup pass rushing LB, and he also plays with his hand down for Stoops. Parcells has said before that he thinks its a very hard adjustment for a a guy who is used to dropping his hand down as a defensive end in college to move to linebacker, and those that do are usually very bright. He gives the Cowboys versatility as an outside pass rusher, whatever package they decide to use. He'll have double digit sacks for back to back years (9 so far this year with 2 games left, 10 last year), and he reportedly runs in the 4.6 range at 6'4" 273.

And he has a lot of energy and attitude .. something this team desperately needs.

The trouble is I think he's really shooting up draft boards, but I still see him as a mid-late 1st.

i think until the free agents are all in place its hard to tell which way we will go with the draft but this is how it might look for now with our needs and i really think that our CBs can get the job done, with a better pass rush they could be great

Kiwanuka is thin but a speed rusher is what we need more than a run stopping DE,Williams is not an immediate need but how can you pass on this guy? also be good to have someone that Henson can count on for years to comeNgata is a beast at 345lbs yet a good athleteBrooks amazing athlete with unlimited potentialShazor, Butler, Bing, or Bullucks someone here that can cover so Roy can move back to FS and wreak havock again

Justin Tuck DE is another one that might be around for a round or two, is ND's all-time career sack leader

1a) Derrick Johnson
1b) Kiwanaku ... whatever his name is. The DE from BC.
2) Mike Williams (yes there's a chane he drops the far. He would of dropped last draft and now he will be entering the draft without having played football in a year).

I've been impressed with him from what I've seen. I'd say he's as good as Pollack. I haven't seen the dude from BC. I've seen Tuck, looks like a pretty good speed rusher, but not 1st round. Now if Cody could actually drop the 2nd, that would be nice....ya never know
